ESGF Publication Test

Prerequisites

Define a test project in /esg/config/esgcet/esg.ini

 thredds_dataset_roots =
 esg_dataroot |  /esg/data
 test |  /esg/data/test 

Download test dataset

mkdir /esg/data/test; cd /esg/data/test
wget -O sftlf.nc http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/esgf/dist/externals/sftlf.nc

Execution user

groupadd publication
useradd -G publication esg-user
chown -R tomcat.publication /esg/content/thredds/esgcet/
chmod -R g+rw /esg/content/thredds/esgcet/

Mapfile generation

 su esg-user
 source /etc/esg.env
 export ESGINI=/esg/config/esgcet/esg.ini
 esgscan_directory --dataset ipsl.fr.test.mytest --project test /esg/data/test > test_mapfile.txt
